wrong grain for genuine mahogany but i would happily say that it's african mahogany.

 

Ah OK. I was sold some "Brazilian Mahogany" many years back in my yoth that looked identical but guess if you dont know as a buyer they can palm you off with anything.

Thanks for the replies. Purely out of interest as I fully intend to turn it myself, but what would a blank like that have cost me usually

a 4" bit like that should not cost more than £20 in my opinion but i don't know what it would cost for that particular size as it's just my opinion.
